She practically always summons adds just after Hide, so don't do that! Otherwise, yeah, there is definitely some randomness to it. Best thing was when we popped Heroism and a moment later she went to Hide (cue collective groaning on Mumble)

Once we find out where she is, I use hurricane to knock her out of hide. Not only does it keep my energy up for the actual dps parts but it contributes over 4x as much to breaking her out of hide since it's the number of hits that determine when she stops hiding, not damage.

It would help if you could provide an expression editor query that demonstrates how you came to that conclusion. Linking to a log of the fight does basically nothing in terms of providing proof for something thing like this, if I wanted a log where someone tried to apply Thrash to the boss while she was hidden I could've gotten one easily (my own).

While SPELL_AURA_APPLIED does trigger on the boss when you Thrash her during Hide, SPELL_PERIODIC_DAMAGE, SPELL_AURA_REFRESH, and SPELL_AURA_REMOVED never triggered while she's hidden so you don't know at what point the Thrash is actually removed from the boss nor if it's actually doing any damage.

How does your mana sustain the cost throughout the fight? I can't imagine LotP returns enough mana to support casting 5+ hurricanes throughout the fight. Oh, and props to the guy that brought up Goblin Dragon Guns, they're pretty legit

As far as i know the link ive postetd shows only dmg on hidden Lei Shi.I'm sorry if I was wrong.I´m not so good in the evaluation of Logs but i´ve tested it in lfr as well. I only use trash one time in the hiding phase and dot effect is definitely ticking according to the damage numbers of the blizz ui.

edit:Now I'm unsettled. I try the same again before I completely embarrass myself here.I'll try to fraps it but my hardware is not the best.

I never really paid attention to my mana while casting hurricane, it just never seemed to be an issue. Looking at wowhead tooltips, you just need around 40 seconds of dps to recoup the mana for one hurricane and you start off with enough mana to cast two, so yeah, if you're casting 5 hurricanes a fight you just need like 120 sec of dps uptime which doesn't sound like that much of a challenge.
